Nice and sharp a pleasure to carve with would definitely endorse and recommend

This is a MASTERPIECE. Solid and perfect cunstruction, perfect size and hand feel. The wood handle is solid and beautiful, the cap snap snug and firm for security storage. The price is a deal. Thanks!!!

Nice knife, super sharp, appears well made.

Picked this up for making leather goods. Cuts through 5-6oz leather without flinching. It's a small inexpensive knife. The handle/sheath is plastic. But it's good steel, and nice and sharp. I own several kiridashis, and bought this for my wife since the sheath makes it a little safer and easier to use. It's a good knife. Great for crafts.

Not quite as expected, still, a very serviceable tool.

Super Sharp. Good handle. Good blade protector. Small hand friendly. I have big hands and it’s fine.

I overlooked the fact that this Kiridashi was hollow ground on the tapered side of the single edged blade! It came sharp out of the box and I had it scary sharp in about 10 minutes of final finishing and stropping! The difference between Japanese quality and the Chinese junk which is on the market today is astounding There was a time when I thought little of Japanese tools until I bought a few and found out that they were, in fact, well made, well tempered, and made of quality high carbon steel and last many times longer, before needing immediate attention with re-sharpening and/or stropping than the Chinese copies. For the price, this kiridashi is one of the very best in my collection of daily used cutting tools in my leather shop today!

The knives I ordered arrived today and I wasn’t expecting perfection as I read several reviews about how the knives are not a quality item. I found quite the opposite when I examined and used the knives sent to me. Very good carbon steel and sharp, i don’t mean a little sharp I’m talking cut 10oz leather with ease sharp, that’s beyond shaving sharp. The handle fits my hand perfectly, and is bamboo.I wear a large size glove. The blade cover is plastic but if good quality and fits snuggly. If overtime it gets loose from wear it would be simple to fix. The blade is flat ground and as I said, sharp! The back of the blade is dead flat and polished at the blade edge. You cannot go wrong if you need a good trim knife for leather work or marking knife for carpentry. This is the knife.

Great product for the cost. I honed the back, and the bevel, putting a mirror finish. Went from sharp to scary sharp.
